Scientists typically don't classify viruses as living organisms, but giant viruses like these, with their own protein - making machinery and other functions normally carried out in living cells, blur the lines between what's alive and what isn't.

The researchers then concluded that as the amount of NAD + in cells declines with age, there aren't enough of these molecules to prevent harmful interactions between proteins called DBC1 (which is found across a wide range of organisms, from bacteria to humans) and PARP1 (a protein that is known to control DNA repair).
